The Christmas Tag

I don’t usually do tags, but I loved this Christmas inspired one! Be sure to tag me if you do it too!

What is your favorite Christmas film?

The Santa Clause with Tim Allen…a must every year! I watch pretty much any Christmas movie though, even the cheesy ones with titles like Merry Kissmas …LOL

Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning?

Christmas Eve

Do you have a favorite Christmas memory?

My favorite Christmas memories are the years I wholeheartedly believed in Santa. I would write my Christmas list, place it out by our mailbox and was so happy when I saw it was gone minutes later. I was obsessed with Santa and would clean up the living room (neat freak even then) and put out milk and cookies every year, Let’s just say, heartbroken is an understatement for what I was when I found out the truth lol

Favorite festive food?

We always make a roasted chicken instead of a turkey, but we still have my favorite stuffing made! I also look forward to our desert called rabanadas 🙂

Favorite Christmas scent?

Balsam! Smells like Christmas trees.

Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

My family always gets together at my sister’s house and we eat, talk, drink lots of wine, play some games, eat some more, and then open presents come midnight ❤

What tops your tree?

My boyfriend and I use a star…but at my mother’s it was always an angel.

As a kid what was the one extravagant, crazy gift you always asked for but ever received?

I honestly don’t remember ever being disappointed. My parents did their best to give us what we asked for, and we also never asked for anything extravagant.

What’s the best part about Christmas for you?

As a kid, it was Santa. As I said previously, I was obsessed. Now that I am older, I just appreciate being around my family ❤

Real tree or fake tree?

I would love a real tree but the thought of spiders scares me and the thought of needles everywhere gives me anxiety (ocd problems) LOL…I might go for one when I have kids for the experience, but as of now, our little fake tree will do.

What’s your favorite makeup look for the festive season?

Def a neutral eye and a red lip

Where would be your favorite place to visit during holiday season?

I absolutely love New York any time of year, but during the Holidays it’s the best place ever and makes me so happy! I’d love to visit Edinburgh Scotland though, it seems so magical during the holidays especially!
